PadTab Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How much does PadTab cost?
A: $19.99 for a complete 2 area kit (includes 1-PadTab, 2-WallTabs), $9.99 for 2 extra WallTabs

Q: How much is shipping?
A: Starts at $5.00 for domestic and International

Q: How does the PadTab work?
A: It attaches to your device and any flat clean wall or surface via industrial strength adhesive tape. See Product Videos HERE

Q: How strong is the adhesive?
A: The PadTab uses a special pressure sensitive acrylic bonding tape used for permanent attachment applications such as replacing rivets, spot welds, liquid adhesives and other permanent fasteners. The adhesive is strong enough to meet the demands of a wide variety of applications that are industrial in nature

Q: How do I know the Tabs are adhered correctly?
A: The goal is to not trap air in between the surface and the adhesive. To do this, attach the bottom edge of the WallTab/PadTab first then start with one side by pressing the tab firmly using a rolling motion to "squeeze" out the air bubbles as you press. This will gain you maximum adhesion to the surface. Trapped air can result in failure to properly adhere the WallTab/PadTab to the surface and ultimately lead to product failure

Q: Is my device permanently mounted to the surface?
A: No, you can remove your device at any time by simply lifting upward on your device. When you're ready to re-mount, you can easily engage the PadTab to the WallTab by moving the device downward into the WallTab's "U" Channel

Q: How do you apply the WallTab to the wall or surface?
A: Clean the surface, make sure it's free from oil, dirt etc, use a standard small bubble level (or Free Leveling App) and place at desired position

Q: Does the WallTab have to be mounted vertically?
A: Yes, for proper weight distribution of the adhesive, please mount to a vertical surface which is perpendicular to the floor (90 Degrees)

Q: How much weight can the WallTab hold?
A: We tested with 5 lbs as an extreme case. The average supported weight is 2 lbs indoors under normal room temperature on a clean, flat, dry, oil-free smooth surface. Most tablet devices should be under 2 lbs
(The iPad weighs 1.6 lbs)

Q: Can you paint the WallTab?
A: Yes, matte spray paint is recommended for best results

Q: Is the adhesive reusable?
A: No, you will need new adhesive to re-mount (Contact us)

Q: Will the WallTabs stick to cheap chalky wall paint?
A: No, normal latex wall paint works fine

Q: Does the adhesive leave a residue behind if removed?
A: No, all you need to do is roll it with your thumb and it comes off easily

Q: Where can I mount the WallTabs?
A: WallTabs are meant to be mounted indoors on a clean, flat, dry surface and used in a normal room temperature environment

Q: Can you apply to other surfaces besides a wall?
A: Yes, as long as the surface is clean, flat, dry, oil-free, smooth and not heavily textured you can apply to refrigerator (even stainless steel!), or kitchen cabinets (as long as they are sealed with acrylic or polyurethane and not raw wood with oil stain etc...) for example. The smoother the surface the better for maximum contact to the adhesive

Q: Can you apply it to wall paper?
A: Yes, as long as it is not heavily textured and extra care is taken for removal

Q: What if I want to screw the WallTab into a surface?
A: It is possible to optionally drill a countersink hole in the WallTab using a drill, a #4 countersink bit and use a #4-1.25" long countersink wood screw

Q: Will PadTab work with other Tablet devices besides iPad?
A: Yes, we hope to test new devices as they are available. Although PadTab is designed to work with other devices than iPad, We've currently only tested with iPad.

Q: Will PadTab work with a tablet that has a case on it?
A: Yes, We have tested various cases. Our PadTab mount is as thin as a nickel. You can easily slide your iPad into the Apple branded iPad case with no resistance for easy portability when you're not using the PadTab (See our demonstration video)

Q: Will PadTab work attached to a hard case instead of directly on the tablet?
A: Yes, We have tested various hard smooth plastic cases. The PadTab will only work with hard smooth cases made of polycarbonate material like ours. Click HERE
